Today we are releasing a beta version of the next minor release of MiaCMS, version 4.9.  The changes for this release are as follows:

General Changes:
1) PHP 5 is now required (PHP 4 users must stay on the 4.8 branch until they can upgrade to PHP 5)
2) Accessibility cleanup added
3) PHPMailer upgraded
4) Updated the MOStlyCE editor to latest TinyMCE core
5) MOStlyCE support added for skins and content templates
6) Added a new content bookmark component/module
7) Added a new tag cloud module

JavaScript Related Changes:
7) Fixed minor JavaScript issues identified with the 4.8 configuration
8) Increased performance
9) JavaScript now loads either in the document <head> or just before the closing </body> tag instead of scattered throughout the page; most of the time it will load just before the closing tag, since there are additional performance benefits to that method (http://developer.yahoo.com/performance/rules.html#js_bottom).
10) Upgraded the Yahoo User Interface (YUI) from 2.6.0 to 2.7.0

Since the JavaScript architecture was fully rewritten with the 4.8 branch and again refined with 4.9, we've created a new starter doc on the wiki that details more about working with JavaScript (and YUI) within MiaCMS - http://docs.miacms.org/wikka.php?wakka=JavaScriptForDevelopers.

Note: This is a beta release. An upgrade patch for 4.8 users will be available when the official release is ready.
